FRS BRZ Receiver Hitch
Anyone know where I might find one? Need a 1 1/4" hitch for a bike rack. Surely someone has one in the works...

Check your manual, Toyota does not recommend that you fit any bike racks, tow hitches or anything of the like to your car; Also in my opinion, it will look horrible on the car...

Waiting for one as well, but it's going to be awhile because of the muffler. Email Curt and ask for one - if they know there's a market they might speed it up.

I want a hitch for bikes also. I emailed Curt - they said more or less no.
But if you can get this "one off" I'd be interested! |

It was the same problem with the EvoX - sooner or later someone figures out there's a lot of people that want one.

I would get one so I can haul my motorcycle to the race track (for now I will be swapping the FR-S for my buddies 2012 silverado for the day)
I started a thread about towing with the FR-S too |
